description The soot produced by fossil fuel combustion affects climate and human health, and the ethylene laminar flame is a crucial research object of soot generation. After verifying the accuracy of the numerical calculation model by comparing experimental data, the impact of changes in inlet flow rate and fuel flow composition operating conditions on the generation of soot were compared and analyzed. The calculated results obtained are consistent with the experimental data in terms of distribution trend. The deviation of the calculated peak integral smoke volume fraction is only 5%. Under the operating conditions set in this study, increasing the volume flow rate of the accompanying air will increase the volume fraction of soot generated by the ethylene laminar diffusion flame. Increasing the fuel volume flow rate will first increase and then decrease the volume fraction of soot.
